PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
London, Tilbury and Southend Line: Rolling Stock (8 July 2014)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the rolling stock maintenance arrangements will be for the franchise agreement with NXET Trains Ltd for rail passenger services on the Essex Thameside line.

Asked by:
Ms Diane Abbott (Labour)

The standstill period for the Essex Thameside franchise competition has not yet concluded, as such the Department has not signed the new Franchise Agreement and we are not able to confirm this information at this time. An announcement will be made shortly once the Agreement has been signed. Rolling stock maintenance will be a matter for the franchisee.
